Summary: Overall Good Book
Review: Have you ever had a crisis so bad that you needed to go into another time to fix it? Well, Running Out ofTime will take you on that journey.The book is written by Margaret Haddix. It is about a girl named Jessie who believes it is 1840.Then she is told that her village is fake and then she has to go into the real world of 1996 to save the children from a deadly disease named diphtheria. Throughtout the story Jessie goes through struggles with whom to trust and how to get help. Will she get the disease and die or save the village and live happly ever after? People who hate fiction should stay away from this book. The unrealistic twists like how she justs calls a new team and how they help her might annoy someone who hates paying attentionto what they are reading. Also the end might be irritating because of the authors constant need to answer every little question and leave you with nothing to think about. Overall the book was good and if you like science fiction, read it.

Summary: AMAZING-ATROCIOUS IN ONE CHAPTER
Review: What if lives depended on you? Jessie Keyser knows how that feels. In the year 1840 Jessie's home of Clifton is threatened by diphtheria. When Jessie is sent on a dangerous mission, all her thoughts of what is safe change. Running Out of Time is a great book with a dull ending. Margaret Peterson Haddix keeps the plot fresh with new conflicts throughout the book. At the end though, the last conflict is resolved, but the story drones on for another two chapters. I recommend this book to 4th, and 5th graders who don't like any conflicts left unsolved. If you like books with an open ending, I don't recommend Running Out of Time to you.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time by Reading Running Out of Time
Review: Running Out of Time is a fictional story about a young girl, 13 years old, and her name is Jessie. She lives in a small town in Indiana called Clifton, where it's 1840, and in the outside world it is 1996. In her little town there is a dangerous disease called diphtheria, and the doctor is not allowed to use modern medicine. Jessie has to escape Clifton and go forty miles to the state capitol, Indianapolis. She has to find a doctor by the name of Mr. Neeley and get medicine before time runs out for her friends and family.
I didn't really like Running Out of Time because it was too predictable, and I didn't like the ending at all. It needs a sequel, but with this book there isn't a sequel yet. Margaret Peterson Haddix writes in third person, that means the narrator tells the story. I would recommend this book to a child 10 or 11 years old because it's not too long. It's only 184 pages.

Summary: Will Haddix write a Sequel?
Review: This exciting book is about a girl named Jessie who thought she was living in the 1840's, but she really lived in a historical preserve. Outside it was 1996. Jessie was sent to the real world by her, mom to get medicine for the sick children with diphtheria. Everything was new to her like the cars and light bulbs and she had lots of questions.
I like the way the author wrote in third person and the details. It also had a very interesting plot and I could not put the book down. I was disappointed about the ending because it really confused me.

Summary: Will Running Out of Time Waste your Time?
Review: Jessie is a young girl who lives in Clifton, a small town during the mid 1800's. When the children in Clifton get sick and start dying, Jessie's mother sends her on a perilous journey out into the world. The world outside Clifton is definitely not what she thought it would be. Jessie is living in a tourist site in 1996, and she has to learn to adapt to the outside world.
Running Out of Time is a good book. It's especially good if you enjoy cliff hangers. I would recommend this book to children ages nine to twelve. Girls will probably find this book more interesting than boys because the main character is a girl. I hope you appreciate this book as much as I did

Summary: Running Out of Time, Indeed...
Review: Take a topic, any topic. Toothpaste. You can have moderate fun with toothpaste. Now let's take the novel "Running Out of Time". I would compare this book to eating feces. It isn't pleasent and moves slow. You watch as a girl, in a small facility, decides to step 3 feet from her house. She discovers a wall and learns she's part of an experiment. Seriously, she lives in a really small gymnasium and couldn't figure that out till' she was a teenager.She basically needs a cure for her friends and sick "1840" citizens. They won't introduce any medicine because it could destroy the "experiment". The experiment is to see if some people can live in 1840 or something. It's stupid because the year is like 2000, and they are pondering if man-kind could live in the 1840's. They could, because mankind is still here in year 2000. The whole book is boring because basically the premise for the book is boring. Capital B boring. No entertainment, just words. It's lifeless and I really disliked reading it. 1 star. Kinda hated it.
